FAQs

What cameras is this adapter compatible with?

This adapter is designed for Sony cameras that have a standard ISO hot shoe mount.

Do I need a specific Westcott trigger for this adapter?

Yes, you need a compatible Westcott FJ wireless trigger, such as the FJ-X2m or FJ-X3 M, to utilize the adapter's full functionality.

Can I control my FJ400 strobe with this adapter?

Yes, when paired with the FJ-X2m Universal Wireless Trigger, you can wirelessly control the FJ400 strobe's features, including TTL and HSS.

Is this adapter bulky or heavy?

No, the adapter is designed to be lightweight and unobtrusive, adding minimal bulk to your camera setup.

How do I clean the adapter?

Clean the adapter with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaning agents.

Can this adapter be used with third-party flashes?

This adapter is specifically designed to work with Westcott FJ wireless flash systems and triggers. It is not intended for use with third-party flashes.

What happens if the adapter gets wet?

The adapter is not waterproof. If it gets wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry completely before use. Avoid submerging it in water.

Troubleshooting

Adapter does not power on or communicate with the trigger.

Ensure the adapter is fully seated in the camera's hot shoe. Check that the camera is powered on and the hot shoe contacts are clean. Verify the FJ wireless trigger is also powered on and properly mounted on the adapter.

Flash is not firing wirelessly.

Confirm that the trigger and flash are on the same channel and group settings. Check the flash unit's battery level and ensure it is within range of the trigger. Refer to the FJ wireless system manual for pairing instructions.

TTL or HSS functions are not working correctly.

Verify that TTL/HSS mode is enabled on both the trigger and the flash. Ensure the camera is set to the appropriate mode (e.g., Shutter Priority or Manual) that supports TTL/HSS. Check the adapter's connection to the camera's hot shoe for a solid contact.

Adapter feels loose on the camera's hot shoe.

Gently re-seat the adapter, ensuring it slides in completely. If the issue persists, inspect the camera's hot shoe and the adapter's mounting mechanism for any damage or debris.
